Amber is shedding like it’s spring around here. I’m vacuuming EVERY day now – an un-heard-of thing for me – and it’s not enough. We STILL have piles of white dog hair sailing around in the breezes all over everything. UGH.
We got out the “FURminator deShedding Tool for Dogs” today ( I call it the DE-furminator) and it took both of us to use it on her – one to hold her collar after we got her to sit on the proper side, and the other to use the tool, and both of us trying to corral the hair as it came off. We spent about 10 minutes today, getting a large pile of white dog hair off, but it seems to be something to which you can devote your life. There is always more! She’s a hair growing machine. We’re now thinking about gathering it up and making sweaters out of it – something we can sell on the Internet….
We’ve decided that we’ll do more every time we both have a minute and can gang up on her and see if we can get ahead of this. I refuse to vacuum more than once a day!


Oh, I understand your challenges Linda, it is the same here, hair all over, short time after, I ended last cleaning.

I’m a lousy housekeeper, but feel that my once a day vacuuming now should SURELY be enough – but it isn’t. I hope you’re not allergic to dog hair and pet dander…

Maybe you should have a robot vacuum for the worst places, Linda. They are smart, just find a good quality, then you save your bag so often.
I don’t have allergy to the animals, but I don’t thrive in too much dust.

I’ve had a robot vacuum. It kept getting caught under things, between two things, or attacked by our animals. Good idea, but I need an Olympic quality model, and we couldn’t afford it. :0)

This I understand, Linda.

What happened to professional dog defurminators? I have the same problem with my dog. The only groomer that defurminated in town closed down after years of a successful business.

In my experience, either you just can’t find anyone who ‘does that anymore,’ or you can’t afford the ones who do.
